“Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Mom enjoyed her club parties with your sweet, gentle mother, very much. She has a club picture of them all on her nightstand, can name each one. But not her grandchildren. So hard to let them go, but Violet no longer has pain or struggles. God be with you all.”
